INDIA alliance ended in 2024, kept fighting against each other: Adhikari
Reacting to the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) decision to withdraw from the INDIA alliance, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and West Bengal Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, stated that the bloc ceased to exist after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and that its constituent parties continued to contest against each other in every state during the elections. "The INDI alliance was finished in 2024. After they lost in the Lok Sabha elections and PM Modi became the Prime Minister for the third term, that very day, the INDI alliance was finished. They have been fighting against each other in every state during elections..." Adhikari said, speaking to ANI. His remarks came after AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj clarified that while the party continues to support and raise key Opposition issues, it is no longer formally a part of the INDIA bloc. Speaking to ANI, Bharadwaj emphasised that even though the party coordinates with other Opposition outfits, it is no longer part of the INDIA alliance. He said, "We raise all issues of the Opposition. But we are not in the INDIA Alliance. When we contested the Lok Sabha elections, we did seat-sharing. After that, the Delhi elections took place, wherein we did not do any seat-sharing. As of now, we raise all issues of the Opposition. We coordinate with all Opposition parties, including the TMC, SP, and other parties. But we are not in the INDIA Alliance." AAP and Congress contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together in Delhi under the INDIA alliance banner. However, the two parties fought separately in the Haryana and Delhi Assembly elections. On July 16, AAP MP Sanjay Singh also stated that the INDIA bloc was relevant only until the Lok Sabha elections. "We have clarified our position that the INDIA alliance was there till the Lok Sabha elections. As far as the Parliament is concerned, we have always been opposing all the wrong policies of the government. Currently, the issue for us is the way the homes and shops of people of Bihar, UP and Purvanchal are being bulldozed and destroyed. This is the issue we will raise in Parliament in the context of Delhi," Singh told ANI. "We said that officially, the Aam Aadmi Party is not with the INDIA alliance as of today. Our alliance was for the Lok Sabha elections..." he added. The AAP MP further stated that the party will raise the issue of the alleged demolition of jhuggis in Delhi during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The Monsoon Session of Parliament will be conducted from July 21 to August 21.

Repeated failures have pushed Rahul Gandhi into ideological vacuum: Pradhan
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of attempting to undermine the nation's dignity after the Congress leader questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought a clarification on US President Donald Trump's recent "five jets shot down" claim. In a post on social media X, Pradhan wrote that the Congress leader just needed an "excuse" to tarnish the country's dignity and had often made remarks in favour of Pakistan and sometimes promoted the narratives of other countries. "Continuous failure has plunged Rahul Gandhi into an abyss of ideological emptiness. In opposing the BJP, he has reached the point of opposing India itself. He just needs an excuse to tarnish the country's dignity. Sometimes he speaks in favour of Pakistan, and sometimes he promotes the narratives of other countries," Pradhan posted. Referring to Rahul Gandhi as the "most unsuccessful leader in the country's history," the Union Minister said his frustration had turned into criticism of the nation. He further wrote that the best proverb that fit Rahul Gandhi was a "frustrated cat" that scratched the pole. "The frustration of being the most unsuccessful leader in India's history is vented by speaking against the nation. A proverb fits Rahul Gandhi perfectly: "A frustrated cat scratches the pole," the post further reads. Further in his post, Pradhan wrote that the Congress leader "eagerly" waited for an opportunity to seize a "baseless issue" to demean the country. "Waking up in the morning, Rahul Gandhi eagerly waits for an opportunity to seize any baseless issue to demean India," the post read. The remarks came a day after Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X on July 19, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Trump's claims of having defused an escalation between India and Pakistan, during which "five ships were shot down." The post read, "Modi ji, what is the truth about the 5 ships? The country has the right to know!" This comes after Donald Trump once again claimed to have halted the escalation of the India-Pakistan conflict on Saturday. Joining the attack, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram questioned the government's silence and credibility. "After President Trump's latest statement, what does the government of India have to say? Silence is no answer," he wrote in a post on X. .
